https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332340 Summary: X server stops user session (similar to 120335) Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: UweGalle@gmx.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Community of Practice My case is similar to the case https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=120335 what was fixed in X.Org 6.9 but reapperas in openSUSE 10.3 and X.Org 7.2. When my X server starts the monitor goes black but does not fall into powersaving mode. My machine always responds to pings even after attempts to switch back to the text console with Ctrl+Alt+F1. But these attempts have no effect because the screen remains black. I have an IBM Netfinity Server 5500 M20 as described here: http://www.linux-tested.com/results/netfinity5500-20.html. I am using the on board graphics what worked during setup. The most annoying thing is that there is no way to configure the X server. SaX2 needs the X server so I can't use it. YaST does not invoke the video setup because it seems to use SaX2. xorgcfg and X -configure also need a running X server so they are useless. The stunning thing is that xorgcfg has the option -textmode obviously for such cases but xorgcfg is not compiled with this option. The option is described in the man pages but if it is invoked with xorgcfg -textmode it shows only the available options without -textmode. Please provide a version where -textmode is available in future. Then I followed the documentation. There is a chapter "The X Window-System" in the Novell reference manual. In the first subchapter "manual configuration" the file xorg.conf is described. The most important thing is what driver must be used but the documentation says here that the driver is determined by SaX2 what is again useless when manual configuration is required. Please explain how the correct video driver for a certain system is determined - both in the documentation and for me as soon as possible. The documentation says in the last subchapter what further information is provided by installing documentation packages. Until now I didn't use such documentation packages so add a little description how to use this documentation. Is this a set of man pages? Or does it belong to the info system? Is there a special program necessary to read this documentation? Are there simple text files and in what directories? Please note that I don't have a running X server so don't provide means what need it. Please provide this information both in the documentation and for me as soon as possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
